Horror Hit ‘Sinners' Coming To Streaming On Max This Week
Michael B Jordan plays twins in "Sinners." Sinners — Ryan Coogler's hit vampire thriller starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld — is coming soon to streaming on Max. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners stars the filmmaker's Black Panther and Creed collaborator Jordan as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return home to Mississippi in 1932 after serving in World War I and working for the mob in Chicago. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Sinners also stars Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Sinners opened in theaters on April 18 and made its debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on June 3. According to Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, Sinners will debut on the company's streaming service Max on Friday, July 4. Max — which will soon revert to its original name HBO Max — has three streaming tiers available. Viewers can subscribe to an an ad-based tier for $9.99 per month, an ad-free tier for $16.99 per month or an ad-free tier with 4K Ultra HD Programming for $20.99 per month. Michael B. Jordan Had One Big Reservation About Being In A Vampire Movie Naturally, a movie with vampires is going to require fake fangs and blood, and as it turns out, Michael B. Jordan was not a fan of one of them while making Sinners. "I liked the fangs. Fangs were dope. The blood was a bit messy and uncomfortable at times. The blood was a lot," Jordan, sitting alongside Ryan Coogler, told People in an April interview. Coogler then shed a bit more light on Jordan's disdain for fake blood for People, adding, "I got called into a meeting a few weeks in by my producer and my wife Zinzi Coogler, and she was like, 'Hey, we gotta talk about Mike.' I'm like, 'What? What's going on?' And she's like, 'The blood — he doesn't like it.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?'" Jordan then brought a little more clarity to the situation. "First of all, there's a difference between complaining and venting,' Jordan told People, laughing. 'I was just more venting, you know what I'm saying? But they care about me, so they had a meeting. I appreciate the meeting." Sinners continues to be a monster hit in theaters, earning $277.6 million domestically and $86.6 million in international ticket sales for a worldwide box office tally of $363.8 million to date. Sinners had a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising, The Numbers reported. The film also earned a 97% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics, who gave the film 375 reviews. In addition, Sinners earned a 96% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 25,000-plus verified user ratings. Sinners arrives on Max on Friday, July 4.

Gen Z's WW3 Fashion Trends Taking Over TikTok
Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics While President Donald Trump realizes that his Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement may not be as binding as he suspected ― both countries continue to fire missiles at each other ― Gen Z isn't wasting any time: On TikTok, 'WW3 fits' has been trending for days, with teens and twenty-somethings sharing the camo-heavy looks they jokingly say they'll wear in the event of a nuclear world war. Fun? 'First war kinda nervous,' Avery, a content creator, captioned a clip featuring her WW3 wardrobe, which includes a camouflage miniskirt and a bomber jacket. A few TikTokkers who are enlisted in the US Army joked that they already had their WWIII look picked out for them, flashing to closets full of fatigues. Ethan Hillis, 26, showed off his potential World War III looks in a video he was careful to caption: 'just a coping mechanism.' There's combat chic (a green trench coat), spy (a fedora and coat) and political ex-wife (basically MAGA mom cosplay). 'My WWIII fit is a bit of satire and a bit of style, think something like combat but make it couture,' Hillis told HuffPost in an email interview. 'I wanted to play with the idea of absurd preparedness while still looking fabulous,' he said. 'It felt like a funny and fashion-forward way to comment on the state of the world without diving into doom.' The videos are all soundtracked to Kesha's 2010 hit 'Blow' (Sample lyric: 'This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh'), which only adds to the absurdity. Most people joke along in the comment sections of the videos: 'This generation is so unserious. I love it,' one person wrote. 'This generation is only afraid of pregnancy,' another joked. Others found the brand of humor distasteful, as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to unfold and airstrikes have left at least 28 people dead in Israel and hundreds in Iran. 'Lives are at stake,' one person wrote in the comments of Avery's video. 'The future of our world is unfolding in front of us, and YOU POST THIS.' Gen Z-ers we spoke to say they recognize the severity of what's happening and aren't trying to downplay it with their videos. 'The jokes are coming from a place of real exhaustion and awareness,' Hillis said. 'I don't think people realize how tuned in Gen Z is. All the irony and outfits are just the packaging. Underneath is real fear, and real care.' Christina Spah, a 26-year-old who posted a video of her WW3 fits ― looks that are ''apocalyptic chic' meets 'functional mom,'' she told HuffPost ― sees the jokes as a coping mechanism. 'As a military spouse and stay-at-home mom, I don't have much time to cry or panic in difficult times. I have to hold my head high and pretend everything is fine until I put my daughters to bed at night,' she said. 'In the meantime, finding humor about the prospect of another war in the Middle East allows me to feel any form of control in this awful situation.' Gen Z is used to using dark humor to get through hard times and trauma. There's little that Gen Z ― the demographic born between the late 1990s and the early 2010s ― won't meme-ify: On social media, everything from the the 2023 Titan submersible fiasco, to the 9/11 terror attacks, and celebrities' deaths and suicides (or being 'unalived,' as they prefer to say) ― have gotten the meme treatment. (Gen Z wasn't even alive when the twin towers fell. To be, though, comedians were cracking jokes about 9/11 no less than a few weeks later ― at least Gilbert Gottfried was.) They haven't experienced any comparable terrorist attacks but Gen Z has been through a lot themselves: A pandemic and lockdowns, the Great Recession for the older ones, school shootings and subsequent active shooter drills, protests over police brutality and political polarization that's damaged friendships and splintered families. Gen Z's supposed 'unseriousness' on social media may actually be a deeply layered response to chronic exposure to the news cycle, said Rana Bull, a therapist who works primarily with Gen Z, and the owner of Burrow and Bloom Therapy in Arizona. 'They've experienced a constant stream of secondhand trauma through social media,' Bull said. That affects us all, but Gen Z experienced it in their formative years. Secondhand trauma, or indirect exposure to distressing events, can desensitize people over time, especially when it's experienced repeatedly and without resolution, she said. 'For Gen Z, this has resulted in a sort of emotional callus; they're rarely surprised by negative news because, for them, it's not a rarity — it's the norm,' she said. There's also a neurological explanation for why Gen Z may appear disengaged. The brain's threat-response system is activated differently when a stressor is experienced directly versus indirectly, Bull explained. Social media creates a layer of emotional distance — what psychologists call psychological distancing — which makes it easier to compartmentalize what they're seeing. 'Humor, irony and absurdity become coping tools that help them regain a sense of control or reduce emotional overload,' she said. It's the same kind of dark humor used among first responders or health care workers, Bull said ― when something is too overwhelming to fully process, laughter is tension-breaking. 'So what might appear as flippancy or being 'unserious' is actually a form of emotional regulation and resilience, albeit one that can be easily misunderstood.' the therapist said. Sage Grazer, a therapist in Los Angeles, doesn't see Gen Z as particularly 'unserious' as a generation. Gen Z came of age online (three quarters of Gen Z spend most of their free time online, and many get their news from it, too), so it's little surprise they process their emotions there as well. But making arguably stupid jokes about incomprehensible geopolitical issues is a long tradition; consider how Charlie Chaplin used satire to defuse and address the looming threat of Adolf Hitler in 'The Great Dictator' in 1940. There's limitations to treating things glibly all the time, or without much reflection on why it's your reflex, Grazer noted. 'Humor can lighten the mood or offer a more positive perspective but it can also become a defense mechanism to shield yourself from harsh realities,'the therapist told HuffPost. 'While we're not meant to bear the emotional burden of all of the world's tragedy constantly, leaning on humor can encourage people to be complacent or callous,' she explained. 'I also see exposure to all of the jokes as contributing to a numbing or disconnection from the reality of what's going on in the world.' But given the unwieldy way President Trump and his war cabinet have communicated operations to the American public, an argument could be made that this conflict has an air of unseriousness, even if that's gravely not the case. And unlike millennials, who grew up seeing friends and family enlist for US invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan, Gen Z has yet to fully experience the political culture of the US at war. (Granted, the US didn't end combat operations in Afghanistan until 2014, and the last United States military forces to depart the country did so on August 30, 2021.) An earnest question on Reddit's No Stupid Questions subreddit over the weekend is a testament to how unfamiliar Gen Z is with the prospect of warfare: 'What are you supposed to do if a war actually starts?' a person ― one who was clearly either not alive or else very young at the height of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars ― asked. 'Like, are we just supposed to keep going to work as normal and live like nothing is happening? Do jobs give time off if you're city is targeted?'

NYT ‘Connections' Hints And Answers For Sunday, June 29th
Hints, clues and answers for today's Connections are here. Looking for Saturday's NYT Connections hints, clues and answers instead? You can find them here: It's a lovely weekend, though I'm a little sad it's already the last weekend of June. My favorite month of the year, come and gone. Summer has begun in earnest and the 4th Of July is just around the corner. I suppose we'll get some kind of patriotism-themed Connections that day, though usually when Connections have a 'theme' it's a headfake. In any case, we have some words to group. Let's get right to it! How To Play Connections Connections is the second-most popular NYT Games puzzle game outside of the main crossword itself, and an extremely fun, free offering that will get your brain moving every day. Play it right here. The goal is to take a group of 16 words and find links between four pairs of four of them. They could be specific categories of terms, or they could be little world puzzles where words may come before or after them you need to figure out. And they get more complicated from there. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder There is only one set of right answers for this, and you only get a certain number of tries so you can't just spam around until you find something. There are difficulty tiers coded by color, which will usually go from yellow, blue/green to purple as difficulty increases, so know that going in and when you start linking them together. You pick the four words you think are linked and either you will get a solve and a lit up row that shows you how you were connected. If you're close, it will tell you that you're one away. Again, four mistakes you lose, but if you want to know the answers without failing, either come here, or delete your web cookies and try again. If you want to play more puzzles, you can get an NYT Games subscription to access the full archives of all past puzzles. What Are Today's Connections Hints? These are the hints that are laid out on the puzzle board itself, but after that, we will get into spoiler territory with some hints and eventually the answers. Today's Connections What Are Today's Connections Groups? Alright, the full spoilers follow here as we get into what the groups are today: What Are Today's Connections Answers? The full-on answers are below for each group, finally inserting the four words in each category. Spoilers follow if you do not want to get this far. The Connections answers are: Today's Connections answers Not a terribly difficult Connections today. The one that got me was the dance moves. My first choice was EARTHWORM for this group, as I pictured that dance breakdancers do on the ground, though I think it's just called the worm. In any case, I swapped that out for CABBAGE PATCH and that worked. I was pretty certain that the purple words would be all the stuff you find in the ground, but I guessed what I suspected the green words were first. I got these all in order in the end, from yellow to blue to green to purple. I still think this puzzle would be more fun and just a tiny bit more challenging if they'd include a poison word or red herring, something to throw us off a bit more. One word that didn't fit. But maybe that would be too much. How did you do on today's Connections? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook.
